"Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. filed a breach of contract suit against Apogee Software Ltd. this week in a Manhattan Court over the developer's "continually delayed" Duke Nukem sequel. Details of the suit were not disclosed in a report by Bloomberg, nor has the New York County Civil Court provided specifics about the damages Take-Two is seeking.

(For the record, the legal name of 3D Realms is Apogee Software Ltd., the party being sued. It is a separate entity from Apogee Software LLC, developers of the still alive Duke Nukem Trilogy.)

According to the complaint, "Apogee repeatedly assured Take-Two and the video-gaming community that it was diligently working toward competing development of the PC Version of the Duke Nukem Forever.""

It makes sense. If I was Take-Two Interactive and I kept paying the bills and nothing happened for... forever then I too would have sued. :)
 
The plot thicken. Good on Take 2. They tried to be nice about this, offering them a pretty $30mill but they rejected so Take 2 decided "Well Frak you then." and sues them. Go Take 2. I mean they must have spent a pretty penny on DNF in its 12 year dev cycle the only way they are going to get anything back is if DNF lands on the shelves. I look forward to hearing more. Thanks for the Info DuncanBell.

Maybe we should ask Tinman to make a sticky Duke Nukem Forever Thread and we can post any new info any of us in there with out cluttering the Forum. Just an Idea.

Lol crap my bad.

/back on topic

If I was in Take-Two's position Id also be suing. I think it was very generous to offer 3D Realms $30mill for the IP, considering that they already paid $12mill for the publishing rights.

This game will come out one day. Sigh, the DNF saga continues...
 
I got a good feeling about this, I mean it takes Infinity Ward like 1 year to make Modern Warfare 2, so hopefully somebody will snatch the remains up and finish it in a couple of months...

Well i like to think that :D
 
Good on them! They wanted to be greedy and not accept the $30 million offer...well now they can enjoy a nice suit instead.
